Motivated Cook

She was ten and cooked
Cookies, cornbread and hot dish
Avoiding homework?

The Grande Machine

At the record store
Our kids saw their first rock band
They shielded their ears

Getting Flat

The wall closes in
Loud voices, piercing words, glares
We walk out in step

Target Center Musings

Nine dollar cocktails
But if there is no mixer
Is it just liquor?

Email Gone Bad

Words were sparse but sliced
Night rant then morning retort
Finished with coffee

Fast Catch Up

Uptown snowy night
Cars stuck, wet feet, early night
We fear alarm clocks

Chore Evolution

Kids clear the table
While parents sit and catch up
Good phase to be in

Conflicts

Her mind on homework
Book Club popped up to taunt her
Her timeline fought back

Piano Recital

Nerves glued to her as
She stepped in the bar mindful
Her turn was looming

Found Money

The program ran hot
So I had no money, then
Friends stepped in to help
